My wife loves things with pictures of her dog on it. A sheltie named Nala. I’d love to get her a leather stock cover for her Henry 22lr that has a picture of a sheltie and Nala embossed on it. I know I would t have in time for Xmas, but I can put the slip for it in an envelope and say “it’s coming” lol
I'm interested in manufacturing or requesting a double barreled shotgun with custom 2 gauge shotgun shells. I know this is a incredibly potent gun I'm requesting but I want a shotgun like the Doom Slayer.where can I buy one.
Who has the best prices on ammo online?
My friends and I have been consistently training together for about a year. I run a video production company (gotta fund ammo somehow lol) and so I’ve just always filmed the training sessions for fun and not done anything with the footage.
I recently cut together this highlight of some “nice” footage from the last year that I think is pretty neat.
What's everyone using looking to have something not too obvious and easy to access. Are people liking the Vaultek DS5I? Don't want something that's gonna shit the bed or scream gun safe. What's good and reliable? Looking to fit a Glock 17 (really a Glock 19 with a 19 round mag) and hopefully a spare mag. Want to secure it to the bed freak as well. Ideas? Thanks!
Definitely on my bingo card
Looking to get some cheap .300blk and checked Ammoseek and saw they had the cheapest. Looking for feedback on them before I buy ammo. Willing to continue to look if they aren’t good.
I don't know any things about guns, but I see this a lot in video games. When the gun is emptied, the first shell is loaded in through the ejection port, then the rest are loaded from the bottom. I searched on Google, but couldn't find much about this
Videos such as the “.357 Magnum vs. 9mm” video showed that 2 rounds of .357 Magnum did as much damage to the meat target as 4 rounds of 9mm.
Did demonstrations like that prove that stopping power is a real thing within various different handgun calibers and proved the FBI wrong when they said that penetration and shot placement are the only two things that matter when it comes to handgun calibers with their famous study known as the “FBI White Papers”?
If not, does that mean that the meat target isn’t a good representation of the human body and how a bullet might affect it and potentially stop a bad guy dead in their tracks?
Also, in that video mentioned above, he used weaker .357 magnum ammo. He didn’t use smoldering hot Buffalo Bore .357 magnum ammo versus the 9mm rounds. If he did, it might’ve only taken one shot of that smoking hot stuff to equal out to those 4 shots of 9mm.
RIP PAUL HARRELL
Got a new gun safe, and need to breeze some life into the appearance of it. Looking for recommendations on vinyl wraps for it. I may have to go a custom root to find what I’m looking for
From top to bottom Winchester XPS 300 Win Mag, 303 British, Mossberg 935, Kel-Tec Sub 2000 40 cal, Century Arms BFT-47, BCA 50 Beowulf, BCA 22 Win Mag, Davidson Defense 308, Grid Defense 6.5 Creedmoor, S&W M&P 5.56, left pistol Glock 35 40 cal and right pistol S&W M&P 5.7. I have 5 more ar builds I need to finish and will show when done. All in all I think I gotta good start.
The two guns in question are the Grand Power Xcalibur and the Grand Power Xcalibur Match MK23
One has a 5 inch barrel and one has a 4.7 inch barrel but it has a full pic rail made of steel instead of polymer like on the 5 inch barrel model.
The official Grand Power website says that the 4.7 inch with the steel pic rail should have less recoil but I have my doubts since a 5 inch barrel adds a significant amount of weight to the gun.
The one with the 4.7 inch barrel and steel pic rail is the one that they decided to add MATCH to the name, but wouldn’t competitors prefer a 5 inch barrel over a slightly heavier pic rail?
I’ve never seen a polymer handgun with a steel picatinny rail before so I’m very bamboozled on which one has less recoil.
There aren’t any ranges near me that have Grand Power pistols to rent so I can’t test it myself
Like title says I ordered some handguns last week and they are all due to be delivered the same day. Is there any extra forms to fill out or any other extra steps involved. They are all different guns and I’m located in Missouri
Hey I'm looking for a conceal carry firearm for when I'm backpacking. Yeah, I know I can just open carry, but lightweight and conceal-ability is very important in this consideration.
So far, I'm pretty settled on a 10mm but am open to suggestions as long as the caliber doesn't lead to a heavier weapon to carry. (I'm good with the recoil of a smaller frame handgun)
I've found the XDM 3.8" compact but can't buy it because I can't find it with state compliant 10 round mags anywhere - I don't think it exists anywhere for purchase in that configuration.
I'm also considering some 1911 ones but it's hard to find anything less than a 4" barrel that isn't like $1000
Less than $1000 would be great, but I also understand the niche I'm shopping for... I also understand that 10mm isn't the cheapest caliber to train with.
I appreciate any help with this, it's been a difficult search because 10mm seems like a favorite of a smaller group of people so I know I'm not dealing with anywhere near as many options as something like a 9mm or .45 handgun.
How did the Staccato P hold up to the XC?
Staccato P As shown $2600 P stock $400 Port (Vulcan Machine works) $200 Trigger 3lb (Vulcan Machine works) $139 Underworld Arms Comp (no threaded barrel Needed) Total $3389 $2989 without porting
Staccato XC $4300 stock
My thoughts.. XC is Supreme no doubt about it however the Upgraded P is extremely comparable + cheaper option. UA Comp Significantly reduced recoil with even more then the ports alone & can easily be converted back to orginal 4.25’ size. Feels as though you have two guns in 1. Great option for those who already have a P or those on a budget and don’t want to spend as much.
Just wondering if there are any new production side by sides in this configuration. The Stoeger has a very appealing price point but the safety, which engages between shots, is a non-starter. It will be a gift for my mother who is very pro 2nd amendment but isn't a firearm enthusiast so I want to get her something that is simple to operate.
Thanks!
Need some suggestions. I was looking at the harbor freight cases but Idk they seem kind of cheap in person. Looking for something that will absolutely hold up to a cross country trip via plane and tsa handlers for a upcoming Elk hunt in Idaho next year. Budget..... $400?
Also, suggestions on good locks while we are at it.
Will have a Bergara Sierra wilderness in 7mm remmag, suppressor, ammo, bipod, scope. I dont need a double case, prefer a single rifle case large enough to fit a scoped hunting rig. But doesnt need to be 60" long either. Rifle total length is around 44" without the can.
Does anyone have any recommendations for LH9 holsters? Can’t seem to find any, they’re all out of stock on lionhearts website. Maybe any that are manufactured for a different model firearm but work for the LH9? TIA!
What should I get next?
